Business Immigration
Immigration strategy for companies moving people, and for the people they move.
A company's immigration plan is part of its business plan. Whether a Korean parent is opening a U.S. subsidiary and needs to send its manager, or a San Diego company needs to hire the engineer it found abroad, the visa category, the timing, and the supporting corporate structure all have to line up. KPLAN Law Group handles the immigration work in coordination with the corporate and tax counsel that the same transaction usually requires.
Our immigration practice is led by Kristina S. Kim, Esq., Of Counsel, who works with employers on intracompany transfers, treaty-based visas, and the full range of nonimmigrant and immigrant petitions. Working within one firm, she and our founder can align the immigration filing with the entity formation, the capitalization, and the tax residency planning that a relocating executive needs.
We also counsel employers on the compliance side: I-9 obligations, public access files, and the recordkeeping that keeps a company in good standing with the Department of Labor and USCIS.
